Abstract

We have obtained K +p scattering amplitudes that fit a large body of data below 2 GeV/ c, satisfy phenomenological partial-wave backward dispersion relations, and are consistent with forward dispersion relations for the spin-non-flip amplitude, and forward dispersion-relation sum rules for the K +p P-wave scattering lengths. This has been achieved by firstly making an energy-dependent phase-shift analysis of 1 660 pieces of K +p data below 2 GeV/ c, using parameterised partial-wave dispersion relations, with the additional constraints of forward dispersion relations and P-wave scattering lengths obtained from forward dispersion-relation sum rules, and then checking the resulting solutions for consistency with backward K +p dispersion relations.
